Dana was born in Clinton, Iowa.[citation needed] Her parents were Walter C. Dana and Lois Mildred Dana. They divorced, and her mother married Harry K. Gibson.[1]
In 1926, Dana's parents were involved in a legal battle when her mother charged Dana's father, grandfather, and uncle with breaking into her house in an attempt to take Dana. Gibson, who was suing Dana's mother for divorce, was also charged in the incident, as were four employees of a detective agency who accompanied the four men. Although Dana's father had custody of the girl, who was 9 years old, her mother had taken her, saying that her father had spent all of the girl's income. He responded that the expenditures were necessary for the actress's career.[1]
Dana died in Thousand Oaks, California.[citation needed]
